I always find it so strange that folks use a blanket statement that all KOA's are this or that. I have found each park has it's own personality and good points or bad points. I'm allowed to still vote with my feet, or wheels as it were. If I don't want to spend the asked rate, I can roll on down the road. If I feel my pocket can accept the rate, we stay. I know one couple that own a KOA and they work darn hard to make the camping experience as nice as possible for all the guests. Hearing the stories they will tell me about some if us campers makes ya wonder if some of us are ever satisfied or happy.
Well said, Stacey.
It has been a long time for a good KOA bashing thread so guess it was overdue.
Let's see, they are higher priced because they are required to maintain certain standards and also offer more amenities. Duh, guess that is how business is run - most any kind of business on a national level.
Does that mean they are all top of the line? Of course not but, on the average, far better than anything else around.
At most places there are rv parks that might be better or worse. Or cheaper or more expensive.
We don't need and rarely use all their amenities but stay at KOA quite a bit.
Like Stacey says - vote with your wheels.
On Edit ........ I think it would be very interesting to allow KOA (and other park owners) Forum to allow THEM to voice (anonymously of course) some of their stories. Boy, not THAT would be interesting!
